PART IV    READING COMPREHENSION [30 MIN.]

SECTION A    READING COMPREHENSION [25 MIN.]
In this section there are five passages followed by fifteen questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answer marked A, B, C and D.    Choose the one that you think is the correct answer.

TEXT A
The Olympic Games originated in 776 B.C. in Olympia, a small town in Greece.    Participants in the first Olympiad are said to have run a 200-yard race, but as the Games were held every four years, they expanded in scope.    Only Greek amateurs were allowed to participate in this festival in honor of the God Zeus.    The event became a religious, patriotic, and athletic occasion where winners were honored with wreaths and special privileges.    There was a profound change in the nature of the Games under the Roman emperors.    They were banned in 394 A.D. by Emperor Theodosius, after they became professional circuses and carnivals.　
The modern Olympic Games began in Athens in 1896 as a result of the initiative of Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a French educator whose desire was to promote international understanding through athletics.    Nine nations participated in the first Games; over 100 nations currently compete.
The taint of politics and racial controversy, however, has impinged upon the Olympic Games in our epoch.    In 1936 Hitler, whose country hosted the Games, affronted Jesse Owens, a black American runner, by refusing to congratulate Owens fro the feat of having won four gold medals.    In the 1972 Munich games, the world was appalled by the deplorable murder of eleven Israeli athletes by Arab terrorists.    The next Olympic Games in Montreal were boycotted by African nations; in addition, Taiwan withdrew.    In 1980, following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, sixty-two nations caused great dismay to their athletes by refusing to participate in the Games.    The consensus among those nations was that their refusal would admonish the Soviets.

66. According to the passage, the first Olympic games were held _____.
A. as a religious festival
B. for political reasons
C. as an international competition
D. as a professional athletes' competition

67. From the passage, we can infer that Hitler's refusal to congratulate Jesse Owens was an indication of _____.
A. jealousy
B. national pride
C. racial discrimination
D. political prejudice

68. The feelings of those athletes whose countries boycotted the 1980 Games could best be described as _____.
A. diffident

C. ver
